If you think it's bad with the older generation, the generations of kids coming up now have very little interest in Indy. I saw an interview with Graham Rahal (Bobby's son) and he doesn't care about Indy. He'd love to go to F1 and if he can't race in F1, he'd like to be in sports cars running Le Mans. Young racers these days in the US either want to go into F1 or race NASCAR. Not a good sign for open wheel racing in the US.
Off Topic: Scott Speed is rumoured to be running in a third car for Red Bull at the Canadian and USGP coming up. I hope that the rumours are true. I'd love to see an American in F1 again.
